Federal Grand Jury Hears Evidence in Diddy Case

A federal grand jury in New York is currently hearing new evidence in the case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. A male witness represented by attorney Ariel Mitchell testified, potentially impacting the case with new testimony that may lead to a superseding indictment. Combs has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody after two judges denied his bail requests, citing concerns over witness intimidation and the gravity of the charges. He is also facing multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault, including accusations that he abused minors in 2005 and 2008, which he denies. Combs' legal team has criticized the lawsuits as publicity stunts, asserting confidence in his innocence and the judicial process. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, amid ongoing scrutiny and legal challenges.
